All About My cakes and Treats

I am a stay-at-home mom who NEEDS a creative outlet! I love to watch Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. In May of 2009, I decided to see if I could do what they do, and I was immediately hooked on the amount of design and detail that go into it!! After making many practice cakes for friends and family, I started getting orders for birthdays and events. My hobby turned into a "work-from-home" business and here I am! I learn something new with every cake and I am still loving every minute of it!

Tis the Season....

December is just about one of the craziest months, with all of the holiday preparations and shopping.  Of course, I HAD to do a cake that looked like a wrapped present!  One of the other recent cakes that I was asked to do was for a "Sweet 16" Birthday.  This was a very cool cake and my first opportunity to do tye-dyed fondant!  The theme is peace signs and cheerleading as this girl is a cheerleader for Van Wert High School.  I also got to try out some new techniques with extruding fondant to make the pom poms...turned out better than I had anticipated!  I actually used my grandmothers old cookie press to create this look...you never know what you have around in the kitchen that will someday be useful!   It is hard to see all of the decorations on the cake, but there are megaphones, cheerleader silhouettes and cougar paws, and well as smaller peace signs.  You just can't capture all of that in the picture.
I will have several more pictures to add in the coming months with festive presents to pretty snowflakes, so check back often!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
